Just to be clear right up front! This will never be a political platform! I will never fight for one side or another here. What I will say, is that things in this world will change one way or another after this next election. The atmosphere of this nation is going to shift. Many people will have to make the decision to either stand up for God and be 100% in on Him or deny Him 100%. There will be no in between. God's arms are and will be open to all that turn to Him! And give Him 100% of themselves! But He also have us free will. And His heart will be broken by many. What are you willing to go through to stand with the Lord of the Universe?
Romans 12:14-21 says, "Bless those who persecute you. Don't curse them; Pray that God will bless them. 15. Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16. Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all! 17. Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. 19, Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the scriptures say, 'I will take revenge; I will pay them back,' says the Lord. 20. Instead, 'If you enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.' 21. Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good."
Are you willing to swallow your pride? If someone spits in your face, will you respond with, "God bless you!"
There are people that think they have suffered persecution. I have a strong feeling that none of us have seen the true meaning of the word yet. Do you have the strength to endure it?! I will say this- not without being 100% in with God you don't!!
Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength."!
We have to rely on Jesus Christ to give us the strength and determination to stand strong!
Matthew 5:10-12 says, "God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 11. God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in Heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way."
God is out ultimate and final judge! His love and rewards will far outweigh anything that we could endure here on earth!
